Soros-Backed DA Drops Charges on Alleged Attempted Killer—He 'Finishes the Job' 24 Hours Later

 Twitchy 


Illegal immigrant was released from jail by Soros district attorney one day before allegedly killing Virginia man

"An illegal immigrant in Virginia has been arrested on charges of homicide just a day after he was let out of jail on a separate offense by a progressive district attorney whose campaign was funded by George Soros.

Steve Descano, prosecutor for Fairfax County, Virginia, dropped all charges against a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador with a criminal history, allowing the suspect to go free into the community, only to be picked up by police on a suspected murder charge a day later, local media outlet WJLA reported.

The Fairfax County Police Department announced Wednesday afternoon that officers had arrested Marvin Morales-Ortez as the suspect in a fatal shooting that occurred outside a home in Reston earlier in the day.

Morales-Ortez had a long list of felony arrests in the county, but was released from jail on Tuesday after Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office dropped the charges for brandishing a firearm and assaulting and injuring someone.

Descano's campaign for his current job, the top law enforcement official in a Virginia county outside Washington, was bankrolled in 2019 by the Justice and Public Safety PAC, whose sole funder is George Soros.

Soros is a billionaire who has made a name for himself by financing campaigns for progressive candidates in the United States and globally.

Fellows at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington wrote in 2020 that to gain the financial backing of Soros, "rogue prosecutors such as Descano kowtow to the movement because it bankrolls their campaigns. ... Once elected, they’re expected to deliver on their promises."

VDH: ‘You Don’t Criticize People in Oedipean Fashion That Are Killed by Their Sons’

Victor Davis Hanson

"In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler discuss the tragic murder of director-activist Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, and the unfortunate reaction by President Donald Trump to the slaying."


. . . "So, when the Truth Social posting from Trump comes out, and he says he died because of Trump Derangement Syndrome or the anger, I don’t know if he’s referring to he thinks the son was angry at his father’s politics. I doubt that seriously. I don’t know where any people in Brentwood who are pro-Trump, people of any mental state." 
"But the point is this: I think that’s what you were hinting on is you can’t get angry. I can get angry. You can get angry. We’re angry at all those people like [Reps.] Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, who said terrible things about Charlie Kirk after he was dead. But you have no moral credibility if you condemn that and you don’t condemn what Trump said.". . .

Viral Target Meltdown Update: Elderly Woman Berated Over Charlie Kirk Tee Speaks Out, Unhinged Nurse Begs Forgiveness as Hospital Pleads ‘Stop Flooding Our Lines!’

The Gateway Pundit  

"Jeanie Beeman, the 72-year-old Target employee who was berated for wearing a Charlie Kirk “Freedom” shirt in the now-viral video, has come forward to speak to the media, and Enloe Health, Michelea Ponce’s employer, has held a press conference asking people to stop calling and demanding her termination.

"Ponce herself has also released a statement, which is not written in the way she herself speaks, begging for forgiveness after the Chico Police announced that they have dropped their investigation into the incident.

"Additionally, the GiveSendGo fundraiser launched by this reporter to send Beeman on vacation has now raised over $215,000.

"The incident, which occurred in a Target store in Chico, California, was uploaded to TikTok by Ponce herself. However, she shut down all of her social media accounts shortly after The Gateway Pundit caught it and covered it on Monday."   Much more here

Democrats unite against Sydney terror — but Fetterman warns party’s anti-Israel rift boiling over

 Fox News

"I can’t imagine why so many parts of people in my party continue to back away or to kind of deflect… condemning these kinds of horrific acts of terrorism."


"Members of the Democratic Party were quick to condemn the horrific Hanukkah attack in Australia, but one senator says their response clashes with years of anti-Israel rhetoric inside the party.

"Sunday's mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach left at least 15 people dead and dozens wounded. Australian authorities labeled the shooting an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community. It sparked swift condemnation from top party politicians, from the center to the left, as well as a chorus of calls by leading Democrats to combat antisemitism.

"But Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, a fierce supporter of Israel, warned of consequences for his party's discord over the more than two years of fighting between the Jewish State and Hamas in Gaza. The senator criticized fellow Democrats for embracing what he called openly hostile, anti-Israel rhetoric that he said is now "becoming more and more part of my party’s platform."

"Fetterman's comments come as the attack is likely to intensify pressure on the party, which is already facing internal fractures over the Israel–Hamas conflict that could define its 2026 electoral messaging.

"While condemnation of the attacks was uniform among Democrats, the party has been anything but unified when it comes to bloodshed in Gaza, which was sparked by the bloody Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel.

"Nearly 1,200 people in Israel were killed after Hamas ambushed them, with over 250 people taken hostage. In the more than two years since the attack, over 70,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, were killed during Israel's military response, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza.

"Tensions between Democrats over the fighting flared at the DNC's summer meeting in August, as a party committee voted on a symbolic resolution calling for an arms embargo and suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel, which has long been the top American ally in the Middle East." . . .

The BBC is still downplaying the slaughter of Jews  . . . "You only had to look at a screen last Sunday to see what “globalise the intifada” means. Jews running for their lives, gunned down in cold blood by murderous terrorists.

"The BBC however still does not seem to get it, despite the impact that “intifada” has had on Jews across the world.

"In their reporting today, BBC News described the notorious Palestinian “intifada” of recent decades as “a largely unarmed and popular uprising”.

“ 'Popular” maybe, but “unarmed”?" . . .

Brown Presser Gets Intense Over Lack of Cameras, ICE, and Who Was in the Room During Shooting

RedState

Phil Holloway

"It's now into the fifth day since the shooting at Brown University, where someone killed two students and injured nine. Meanwhile, the press conferences have projected incompetence from the authorities, which hasn't given the public a lot of confidence that they're going to find the killer. 

"On Wednesday, they announced they had a second person they wanted to speak to, who they characterized as having been in the vicinity of the primary person of interest for whom they are looking. 

"They already released one "person of interest" who they had briefly detained. 

"One issue that has most angered the public has been the question of surveillance cameras, and why the cameras at the school didn't reveal more about the suspect in this case? The police are now canvassing the area to see if cameras from other residences or businesses may have information in the case.

"A reporter put officials on the spot at the end of the press conference when he asked about those cameras and if the reason there weren't any that were in operation in the area in question was that they were a sanctuary city, and having cameras would help ICE. Listen as this guy just lights them up; he lets them know people are very angry and concerned about this. " . . .

Brown University Received a Letter from 34 Human Rights Groups in August Requesting They Disable Their CCTV System
   "The question is: Did Brown University acquiesce under pressure from far-left human rights groups to disable their CCTV systems, in advance of the mass shooting on campus?"

'Hunted, killed in cold blood': Mtn. Brook native Ella Cook targeted for conservative beliefs

 Mark Halperin: Ella Cook Possibly 'Target' of Brown Shooting

“Typically, when we see mass school shooters, they don’t just stop and walk away, right? Usually they keep going until they’re apprehended by police, shot dead, or they kill themselves,” said Duke. “And the other thing is if the police are telling Brown students that they are safe, they don’t have to shelter in place anymore, but they don’t have a suspect in custody, I think that also suggests that this was some kind of targeted attack.”

'Hunted, killed in cold blood': Mtn. Brook native Ella Cook targeted for conservative beliefs in Brown University killing, College Republicans of America founder says  . . . "The founder and chairman of the College Republicans of America, William Branson Donahue, said he believes Cook was targeted.

" 'I am filled with rage and sadness to learn that our Brown College Republicans VP, Ella Cook, has been identified as one of the victims from the attack," he stated. "I'm told she was allegedly targeted for her conservative beliefs, hunted, and killed in cold blood. Losing Charlie [Kirk] three months ago rocked our worlds. The entire College Republicans community is weeping this evening, learning of the news. This was an attack on our family." . . .


So there are good Democrats

The Wereth 11 Massacre During the Battle of the Bulge

 The Tunnel Wall: December 12, 2024

If only we could go back in time and undo the wrongs done to people like these. TD


The Wereth 11 Massacre During the Battle of the Bulge - Warfare History

"When German prisoners of war arrived at Camp Gruber, Tech. Sgt. William Edward Pritchett was compelled to deliver a concern to his captain. The men of the 333rd noticed the POWs were fed better than the 333rd and that white GIs showed more courtesy and respect for the Germans than to their fellow black comrades. McLeod forwarded those remarks to Kelsey, but they were shooed aside. 

In that regard we have become so much better now that we were then. These are the people to whom reparations are owed, not the Joy Reids, Al Sharptons and Letitia James's who grate on America's ears today. TD

The Malmedy Massacre; Dec 17, 1944: Battle of the Bulge

 The Malmedy Massacre | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans

Image by Sgt. Howard Brodie of the last moments before the Malmedy Massacre, based on survivors' accounts. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

. . . "What happened next is reasonably well documented. After speaking briefly to his subordinate, SS Sturmbahnführer (Major) Werner Pötschke, Peiper moved on ahead. About an hour later, some time after 2:15PM, the Americans were assembled in a field. German machine gunners then opened fire and massacred them. SS men walked among the wounded, shooting some of them in the head; and they also murdered a Belgian widow who owned a local café. Consideration was given to massacring other Belgian civilians who witnessed the atrocity, but the Germans were not particularly interested in concealment, and they were eager to move on. It was thanks to this that some Americans were able to feign death and escape afterwards. By Waffen SS standards, it was a sloppy massacre; but eighty-four defenseless American prisoners of war lay dead." . . .
. . . "News of the atrocity appeared almost immediately, thanks to those Americans who were able to escape and make it back to their lines. The bodies of those murdered were not recovered, however, until the following month. In the short term, the Malmedy massacre incensed the Americans fighting in this sector, as few other atrocities had managed to do. And the US Army didn’t forget. Unfortunately, the war crimes trial that took place from May-July 1946 on the site of the Dachau Concentration Camp was botched by American prosecutors. Perhaps more important, the SS men who had been so casual about committing murder on December 17, 1944, now closed ranks to defend each other and foment grossly exaggerated claims of torture at the hands of their captors. In the end, the perpetrators, including Peiper, escaped with no more than several years’ imprisonment. Yet justice has a long arm. Peiper, an unrepentant Nazi to the end and living brazenly in France, was himself murdered when unknown assassins set his house on fire on July 14 (Bastille Day), 1976." . . .Full article here

Bondi Beach — Australia’s Kristallnacht

 Bill Ponton  

"The Trump administration should communicate its displeasure with the inaction of the Albanese government in securing the safety of Jews in Australia. It should be as strongly worded as Trump’s recent words to the South African prime minister in the Oval Office conveying displeasure with his government’s indifference to the plight of its white Afrikaner population. My question to the Trump administration is simple. If not now, then when?"


"I ended a recent article entitled, “The Hamas death cult gets rewarded for the Oct. 7th massacre” with the words, “While England and the rest of the Anglosphere appeases the Moslem world, to which they will be a prisoner soon, we should not tolerate pirates and death cults in our midst.”  After witnessing the Australian government’s complicity in the death of Jews at Bondi Beach, I would now add that we cannot allow Australia to blindly disregard the lives and safety of its Jewish citizens.

"Calls for “jihad,” “intifada,” and “gassing,” by radical Islamic factions within Australia have been tolerated and have gone unpunished by Australian authorities. Jewish groups inside Australia have been begging the authorities to take threats against the Jewish community seriously. During the last two years, synagogues and other Jewish sites in Australia have been repeatedly assaulted. In December 2024, a Melbourne synagogue was firebombed. Jewish businesses have been attacked and Jews have been the targets of constant harassment. Bondi Beach is a modern-day Kristallnacht, a pogrom against Jews carried out by a militant Islamic faction while Australian authorities looked on without intervening." . . . More...

For Today’s Democrats, Fraud Is A Feature, Not A Bug

 Issues & Insights  

"It’s time to modify Mark Twain’s line about Congress and the criminal class to make it more in tune with the times. “There is no distinctly American criminal class – except Democratic politicians.' ”


"One of the unanswered questions raised by Minnesota’s massive welfare scandal is how it could have gone on so long, given its scale and the fact that alarm bells had been clanging for years.

"The New York Times provided the answer, if inadvertently, when it quoted a former fraud investigator in the state attorney general’s office, who said that “There is a perception that forcefully tackling this issue might cause political backlash among the Somali community, which is a core voting bloc” for Democrats.

"That is it in a nutshell when it comes to government waste, fraud, and abuse.

"For today’s Democrats, these aren’t problems to be solved. They are cherished benefits that support their (and their friends’) lifestyles and keep them in office.

"How else to explain why they are so often caught with their hands in the till, and why they routinely try to thwart anti-fraud efforts?

We’re not just talking about Democrats ripping off government programs for their personal benefit – examples of which are legion – but the opportunities for fraud built into the programs they create.

"Take the federal food stamp program, which now goes by the euphemism SNAP and is riddled with fraud. Instead of trying to protect taxpayers, Democrats are actively thwarting a Trump administration effort to eliminate it."                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that “We asked for all the states for the first time to turn over their data to the federal government to let the USDA partner with them to root out this fraud, to make sure that those who really need food stamps are getting them, but also to ensure that the American taxpayer is protected.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "Seems reasonable enough, and most states complied with the request. But 21 Democrat-controlled states are refusing to turn that data over to the Agriculture Department. And of those, more than half are known to have payment errors that exceed the national average, including California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts" . . .

Bondi Beach Survivor Blasts Cops: 'You Hid While We Died'

Red"State  

Fortunately, here in the United States, we citizens have an advantage that no other country in the world possesses. We should remember that, as well."

 

"It seems every major crime, every attack, from mass shootings to terror attacks (there's a lot of overlap there), produces some tales of heroism, and some of cowardice. The recent Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack in Australia, perpetrated by two Muslim immigrants against a gathering of Jewish holiday celebrants, has managed to do this in one story. 

"Vanessa Miller is a survivor of the Bondi Beach massacre. She was there, with law enforcement officers in her immediate area - and boy, does she have a few things to say about those law enforcement officers. Watch:

 "Vanessa Miller says: 

The police officers were hiding behind a car. I tried to grab one of their guns, then one of them grabbed me and said "no." I'm trying to grab for his gun. These men these police officers, they know who I am, and I hope they're hearing this. You are weak. You could have saved so many people's lives. They were just standing there, listening and watching this all happen. Holding me back. Two police officers - where were the others? Not there. Nobody was there. Everyone, the public, helped. Nobody else. My little three-year-old was saved by a pregnant woman, who saw her crying and screaming, "Mummy, Daddy." We were there. There was not... How long did it take for police to come? How long did it take? Everyone was too scared. . . .

. . .  "It will be a while before we know all the details of this horrible event. People are still speaking out. Australia is going to have to take a long, hard look at its immigration policies. Sydney law enforcement is going to have to take a long, hard look at some of their officers and how they were trained. And the world should look at this and realize that it could happen anywhere, at any time."

Bondi beach shooting: Survivor of October 7 Hamas attack among those injured – Firstpost

A grandfather who survived the Holocaust is a hero after he used his body to shield his wife in a targeted terror attack against Jewish families at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia on Sunday.

One wonders: how many people who survived the Nazi holocaust in WW2 have been murdered by supporters of Islamic terror groups?

What Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, did in the days leading up to the shooting

 Washington Post  "A patchwork of social interactions and a trail of online posts provide a view into Tyler Robinson’s life and his beliefs, a Post examination found."

"The roommate viewed Trump’s election as a loss for trans rights and was distraught, according to the person. More than once, the person said, he saw Robinson cradling his sobbing roommate in his arms."

Allison Hemingway-Witty cries after the shooting. 
 

"Fifty-five minutes before he allegedly shot and killed right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson was bragging about his success playing the online puzzle game Wordle.

" 'It was the morning of Sept. 10. Robinson had guessed the answer — “pouty” — on his third attempt. He sent his results and a celebratory meme to a friend, who responded with a meme of his own and conceded that it had taken him five tries.

"By then, according to prosecutors, Robinson had already driven three hours from his home in southern Utah with a high-powered rifle. He was about to make his way onto the campus of Utah Valley University, where Kirk was set to speak to a crowd outdoors.

"The quotidian exchange, ahead of the killing for which Robinson would later turn himself in, was a striking example of the compartmentalization the 22-year-old exhibited in his interactions with friends in the days before the shooting, a Washington Post examination found."

" And in the years leading up to that day, friends said, Robinson betrayed no sign of passions that might suggest a capability for violence, much less murder. To many, he appeared to hold unremarkable political opinions, and he told some he was no fan of either major party." . . .  More...
